Original consultation

Summary

Seeks your views on 3 options for a new runway in the south east of England, and on its assessments of these options.

This consultation ran from7am on 11 November 2014 to
11:45pm on 3 February 2015

Consultation description

The Airports Commission is seeking your views on 3 options for a new runway in the south east of England, and on its assessments of these options. In particular, the Commission wishes to:

test the evidence base it has assembled

understand stakeholders’ views as to the accuracy, relevance and breadth of the assessments it has undertaken

seek views on the potential conclusions that might be drawn from them

The Commission also welcomes evidence and ideas about improving the short-listed options (eg through mitigation measures to address specific impacts).

The consultation consists of a large number of documents. This page features the commission’s overarching consultation document, a sustainability assessment and business case for each of the 3 schemes. Detailed technical reports which underpin the commission’s analysis have also been published, along with an index to help you navigate them.

Work submitted to the Commission by the 3 scheme promoters; Gatwick Airport Limited, Heathrow Airport Limited and Heathrow Hub Limited has also been published.

Update to consultation: 25 November 2014

A new paragraph, paragraph 3.148 on page 82, was inserted in the ‘Consultation document’ on 25 November 2014. The paragraph was accidentally omitted from the initial ‘Consultation document’ during the typesetting process.

Update to consultation: 17 December 2014

A new report “Impacts of expanding airport capacity on competition and connectivity” has been added to the strategic fit technical reports collection.

Update to consultation: 19 December 2014

An addendum covering “national and local noise assessment” has been added to the noise analysis technical reports collection.

Update to consultation: 19 January 2015

Granular data on forecast passenger numbers for a number of smaller regional UK airports have been published alongside our strategic fit analysis documents . In the original documents this information was aggregated under the heading of ‘other UK airports’ in the ‘Forecasts report’.

Update to consultation: 22 January 2015

All underlying data for the charts in the cost and commercial viability technical documents prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has now been published in spreadsheet format. Some of these charts were identified as showing data other than that referred to in the consultation reports. In these instances, the charts have been updated in the spreadsheet to show data based on the correct scenarios. This update does not affect any of the analysis, figures and commentary elsewhere in the reports.

Update to consultation: 23 January 2015

There has been a revision to the underlying indexation assumptions for the core capex and asset replacement costs for the:

Heathrow north west

Heathrow extended northern

runway schemes. As an example, our advisers have re-run 1 scenario to consider the impact of the change on aeronautical charges and the financing requirement. This results in an increase of the order of 1% to both outputs, which is not considered material to the work of the commission. The commission is advising consultees of this impact, but is not planning to amend the underlying cost and commercial viability reports.
